Screen Brightness changing - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

With auto brightness off, sometimes when i unlock my phone the brightness increases but the brightness bar is in the same level. Then i lock the phone and unlock it and the brightness returned to normal.
If i unlock again, the brightness have increased again... To return to normal, i have to lock the phone and unlock again.
I have done 2 hard reset but the problem persists.
Maybe hardware problem?
Again, auto brightness is off.

This may be a software issue, because the problem you have is with the brightness bar not displaying correct info immediately. The issue may be an update gone wrong or an app that may be hindering your brightness meter.
You can try going to safe mode first (i forgot exact steps, but you can google it).
If issue persists, you can try flashing the latest version again via odin(you can get update zip from sammobile).
That's my take on it and i can't guarantee it to work, but this may be the most likely cause. Hope it works for you.

Brightness is locked

For some reason my Gear S2 has the brightness locked at the lowest setting, I have tried powering down and even resetting the device. I can move the brightness slider however there is no change to the brightness of the screen. The only time my brightness changes is due to the outdoor mode in direct sunlight. Please help me this problem has not gone away since a few days after getting the device (Christmas), and it's really starting to bug me.
Never heard of this problem. Exchange it.
Did you try to hard reset of your device?

screen lights up randomly

whenever the phone is just resting on the table, it will randomly just up the lockscreen for a few seconds, then turn back off.
I do not use any auto brightness. anybody else experience this? It usually happens a few minutes after it's been used.
maybe notifications waking screen to remind you. maybe background app forcing screen wake. have you only noticed this after downloading an app . maybe try deleting recent apps and seing if it persists
i have not had this same issue but with same thing ......with auto brightness off..have you noticed while using it the screen dims. gets lighter? etc you can be on internet page and your screen goes much brighter? also sometimes goes dimmer?
i beleif it to be battery optimisation . or that turning off auto brightness doesnt really turn it off. or there is bug in software that does this.

It is quite possible that ambient display is the culprit. Look in display settings and see if it is enabled.
Hello, we understand your concerns about the display and its brightness. Here are some tips to correct your auto-brightness issue.
- Your phone will automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness. Clear the Automatic brightness check box to manually adjust the brightness.
- For sleep mode, the screen will lock automatically after a period of inactivity to reduce power consumption. Select Sleep to adjust the screen-off time or disable the automatic screen lock feature.
If the problem persists, try backing up your device and performing a "master reset". This should help correct any buggy issues you are having with your display. (NS)
You don't receive notification and it lights up randomly, right?!
Disable voice wake-up from Settings. The same thing happened on my P8.
So voice wake-up os begins this, I've never enabled it, I didn't thought about it

Still the problem exists. I mentioned already we have automatic brightness box unchecked and still the brightness changes.
If you're on MM try to rollback to LP

Try changing Power Plan to Performance if it is set on Smart.

A factory reset should solve the problem, if other solutions don't work
try enabling the power saving mode

After updating to Oreo, the automatic brightness of the screen does not work properly

I have XZ Premium dual sim CE1.
Screen brightness automatic.
Brightness changes under the ambient light, but the brightness bar does not move.
It stands 2/5 in length.
When I manually change the brightness of the bar, it will move where I touch my finger and stay there.
After a clever change of brightness, the machine stops working.
Automatic brightness does not work.
I have to enter settings, turn off auto brightness and turn it back on. Then it starts to work but the strap is in place at 2/5 length as in the beginning.
Prior to upgrading, the slider bar moved along with the automatic brightness change. After updating it is always in place.
I upgraded my phone and then repaired the software via Xperia Companion. It did not change anything. The issue still exists.
Several friends have the same problem.
Applies single and dual sim.
Please if you have similar help then fix it.
Reporting an error with the RGBC sensor has resulted.
Sony has promised to fix the bug.
Now I need to report an error with the backlight of the screen.
The thread to report a bug with brightness is here:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ-Premium/Android-Oreo-Adaptive-brightness-bug/td-p/1272706
I have this problem too, mostly when it is dark the brightness keeps changing from dim to bright back and forth until I just disabled adaptive brightness. I'm pretty sure I had this problem before the update but it wasn't nearly as bad, mine is typically stuck on the lowest brightness.
Report a bug in Sony forum and help fix it.
Have Auto-Brightness problem in Nougat.
It turns dark and stays there, manual setting works without any problem

Reset adaptive brightness?!

hi,
Now after the pie update we got this super new feature...
But in my case most of the time my display brightness is to dark. I always have to adjust it manually.
Is there any way to reset adaptive brightness? There are some tutorials in the internet but on my HTC I don't have this reset feature.
Best regards

Uhm... That is adaptive brightness right there. You SHOULD adjust the brightness when you're in a specific place and your phone will eventually "learn" it a few times you're in that area.
Note that adaptive brightness is a combination of sensor, location and even network (whether you're connected to some WiFi).
Again, when it's dark, INCREASE your brightness. Do that a couple of times when you go back to the same place. THAT is how you calibrate adaptive brightness.
And still it don't work like I want it. In my home network it dimes always to dark. I have adjusted it hundred times. But still no changes...

DISPLAY ISSUE (PLEASE HELP)

Am facing this from one ui2.5 wherever i turn off aod and unlock the phone display goes to the Yellow but if aod is on then everything is fine no problem but i need to turn off AOD for better battery please help me guys
I did factory and hard factory reset.
i don't think its a hardware issue am heavy user with aod turn on i can use it whole without any problem no display issue ...
Sounds like bad firmware.
Is blue light filter toggled off? Try toggling it the opposite from where it's set.
AOD should use little battery. Use at minimum manual brightness.
Have you tried the double tap to view AOD setting? Maybe you can tricked it...

If tap on AOD solves it be happy; that uses almost no battery or it should.
You could reflash and still have the same issue.
Eventually Samsung will hopefully patch it.
If it really keeps you awake at nights you could send it in for service.
Maybe someone here has a better idea though.
Can you help me i have wifi and pc both so i can give a try lets see if refreshing the frameware can fix this (and if i reflash am still gonna getting updates right)
